M*A*S*H (TV) on Prime in HD be warned

[Omaha Steve]

Cross posted from TV chat.


The show was shot 1.33 to 1. The HD version 1.78. On an HDTV you should see black bars on the side. To make the picture full screen, they clip picture off the top and bottom. Your not seeing the entire picture.


Cropped for HD.


As shot for TV

IF you don't understand just send me a pm for more info if you like.

1. We have the entire M*A*S*H DVD set.

It looks a lot better on our 42" flat screen then it ever did on our old 19" CRT. The "bars" on the side don't bother me at all.

I don't understand people's objection to original aspect ratio movies and video. I'd rather see the entire frame exactly as the director intended it.

2. It does make a difference. Shame really.

Should have just kept it original. Most newcomers won't care though.

3. youtubers frequently hack out half the picture when posting vids in the wrong

ratio. its so aggravating
